Hey there.I’m really sorry for bringing out this post real late.No excuses just downright lazy…Well here we go.. First Stop JIPMER…Well this year we had a massive contingent going there numbering about 90-95!!! majority being the jobless second years.This Spandan we happily continued our ever so loving rivalry with KMC Mangalore and of course were winners in football ,throwball & runners up in Badminton(Mens),Basketball(girls) and in hockey(did ya know u could score with your leg in JIPMER ,turns out to be YES).In the culturals we,of course,missed the music team from the batch of 05 and “Swayam” our choreo team…. having said that we weren’t short in enthusiasm to make up for the absentees …take for instance..the enthusiastic bunch from 08 putting up a performance in Indian Music and won Sharan the second best vocalist.We finished first In western acoustic…let me brag a bit..I was in that team…Anyway then we had the boys from 07 aka Mad Med Men Inc Juniors who came in a car and went back the same way by being winners in Ad zap n second in Skit.Shanti won painting and Nobin won in face painting….well this SPANDAN was fantastic not just cause of the prizes won but the UNITY OF All JOHNITES always stood high..So what can I say”You may hate us,You may love us but you just can’t ignore us”

Next Stop – Tea with Bishop Percy…Our former director agreed to join us for tea to distribute the prizes won at JIPMER & talk with us – the next generation of docs.He talked to us about his times in John’s and difficulties he faced and advised us how to get along with our lives here with the changed atmosphere in place…

Finally to those who feel that the Gym is really close to their hearts….With the help of Dr Kutappa (Anaesthesia) and of course efforts by Steve Joys,The Indoor Sports Secretary, the gym has been reasonably renovated to our needs.We would be extremely happy to welcome any contributions towards to the gym fund so as to maintain it for many years to come…Alright thats about it now.Oh i almost Forgot Jingle Rock’s happening on Dec 11 probably the only sought after event in St John’s now…
